Superstar goes by the rules!
Discipline and perfection are the main ingredients for any one to succeed, and Rajinikanth is no exception to this rule. For any film where the Superstar is involved we see some novel activity or the other taking place in terms of order and streamlining. 'Sivaji' was the first film to issue identity cards to its cast and crew. So what rules are we talking about now, you might ask? Well, this is about 'Robot'. We have just heard that the payment for all the actors in the film 'Robot' will be the same! It does not stop with that. The pay pack of the 'Robot' team will by higher when compared to the package offered by the other production houses. And there is one more condition too, which states that all those who have been committed for 'Robot' should sign an agreement accepting that they will not commit themselves to any other project for the next two years. Well' there is one person who is an exception to this rule and that is our heroine of the film Ms. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! Sure pays to be beautiful!
